The video continued, Cheng Xin was sitting in a flying car, flying towards the edge of the city amidst the roar of the propellers.
However, the edge of the city did not slow down the flying car.
After a long time, Cheng Xin could no longer see the futuristic buildings that amazed her. Instead, she arrived at an uninhabited urban area covered by ivy and other plants.
"Long time no see." Just as Cheng Xin was looking around for something, a frightening voice came from behind her.
Turning around, it was Thomas Wade!
It's just that he looks a lot older.
But that's not important. What's important is that he is holding a pistol in his hand and pointing it at Cheng Xin!
"This gun and the matching bullets are prepared for underwater shooting..." Thomas Wade's much older face showed a cruel smile: "It is said that it can be stored for a long time, but this has passed.
It’s almost three hundred years old, and I don’t know if it can be used.”
After saying that, Thomas Vader pulled the trigger without hesitation. Fortunately, the bullet was still usable, and it instantly broke through the element and shot into Cheng Xin's body.
But the bullet missed her vital point and only hit Cheng Xin's left shoulder, causing her to take several steps back and collapse to the ground.
"It's a pity that we can't use today's high-tech firearms," Thomas Wade said regretfully: "After all, these guns are too smart, and everything I do will be recorded."
Cheng Xin looked at Thomas Wade unwillingly: "Why did you kill me? You arranged for Vadim to get leukemia, right?"
"Hmph," Thomas Vader looked at the painful and angry Cheng Xin with enjoyment: "Because I want to be the sword bearer, you will compete with me, and you will definitely succeed... To be honest, I don't have any ill intentions towards you.
, If you want to blame it, blame it, you will definitely succeed!"
[Three Body World, Zhang Beihai keenly observed that Thomas Vader's gun was not aimed at Cheng Xin's head or heart, but at the shoulder!
This is very unreasonable. There are obvious marks of gun practice on Thomas Wade's hands. Logically speaking, the distance between the two is only a few meters. Even shooting game enthusiasts would not aim so far away from this distance.
Tomoko?
Yes, after the Three-Body Crisis was temporarily resolved, he specifically reviewed a lot of information on the recent outbreak of the Three-Body Crisis. Among them was a materials scientist named Wang Miao, who once saw the flicker of the universe.
It was later confirmed that it was Tomoko's interference with him.
Therefore, Thomas Vader's mistake in assassinating Cheng Xin was most likely caused by Sophon's interference!
Zhang Beihai was suddenly disappointed with Thomas Wade.
First of all, Thomas Vader shouldn't speak. It would be better if he could sneak up and put the gun to Cheng Xin's head and kill her. The physical touch of direct contact cannot be interfered by Sophon. He can definitely succeed.
And if what he said was recorded by Tomoko, and then spread on the Internet by Trisolarans using technical means, then he will also be held accountable!
I don't know whether it's because he's old or whether Sophon has some new technology. Thomas Wade seems to be less decisive than he was in the AD century. Zhang Beihai likes him better at this time. He is decisive, courageous and foresight, and
It's not like this one who hibernated into the future and killed everyone because of his mother-in-law.
Cheng Xin, who was heading to a strictly guarded place, developed an even greater fear and disgust towards Thomas Vader.
What kind of bullshit is this?
As a competitor, I deserve to die?
Shouldn't you use competition to defeat me?
Why kill me?
What else does it mean that I will definitely win?
Although the future world has become more feminine and weaker, doesn't it mean that people like him are needed for things like deterrence? Isn't he the one most likely to win?
At the same time, Thomas Wade on the other side of the ocean was looking gloomily at his future self.
Like Zhang Beihai, he is very dissatisfied with his future self.
You can kill people with guns, so why not get closer? Even if you are worried about blood splattering on yourself, you can take protective measures in advance.
All the preparations should have been made a long time ago. If it were him now, he would definitely not assassinate in such a state!
If possible, he would also like to prepare anti-armor weapons and explosives to make it impossible for Cheng Xin to be saved by medical treatment!
But unfortunately, judging from the video, the ground has been plowed countless times in order to build the underground city. Even if he repairs the bunker in advance and puts these things in the ground, they will probably be dug up in the future...
Wait, what if you put the necessary things on the track?
Through precise calculations, at the right time, he will fall off the track.
Or you can also find some periodic comets, such as Halley's Comet, put what you need on it with some effort, and just take it back when needed in space.】
Thomas Wade fired again, this time hitting Cheng Xin in the abdomen.
Frowning, Thomas Vader was about to pull the trigger again, but his right hand exploded, revealing a bloody skeleton.
Thomas Wade looked thoughtfully into the distance. A flying car with flashing police lights was coming towards this direction.
Ai AA jumped out of the car first, ignoring Thomas Wade who was under control, and cried to the unconscious Cheng Xin that her phone number had been forged.
"Who is the sword holder..." This was Cheng Xin's last murmur before she lost consciousness.
Although Cheng Xin was hit by two bullets, they were not in critical areas. For this era, the only difference between such an injury and tooth extraction was that Cheng Xin needed to rest for a while.
After waking up, Ai AA played some literary holographic movies for Cheng Xin.
The inventory video does not play out the movie in its entirety, but like a marketing account, it tells the entire movie in a few minutes combined with the conversation between Cheng Xin and Ai AA.
I have to admit that the movie with the theme "You live at the head of the Yangtze River, I live at the tail of the Yangtze River" is indeed excellent and very artistic.
But Ai AA told a very terrible truth - these movies were shot by Trisolaran people.
[Three-Body World, even if they try their best to control it, Luo Ji, Zhang Beihai, Da Shi and others shuddered at the truth, with a lot of cold sweat oozing from their pores.
Especially Zhang Beihai and Luo Ji, the two masters of deception and the "protagonists of the world", tried their best to restrain their physical instincts, but the truth was too shocking.
Because they all know clearly that this is a cultural invasion by the Trisolarans!
The most deadly but most covert way of infringement!
Use subtle, reasonable and legal means to import the values they need into the earth, and change the way people on earth think about it over a long period of time.
Perhaps, the entire future society will become feminine, not only due to the aesthetic deviation caused by the peaceful social atmosphere itself, but also the deliberate guidance of the Trisolaran people!
Not only that, but being able to shoot excellent movies even in the AD century they lived in is enough to show that the Trisolaran people's research on human psychology has reached a very terrifying stage!
Can Trisolarans learn to lie?
If the Trisolarans learn to lie... humanity will really be hopeless!
But Zhang Beihai can feel the connection with the Death Star II at any time. The abundant energy of the Death Star II makes Zhang Beihai feel very at ease.
He has a trump card.
Compared to Zhang Beihai's super weapon that even the Trisolarans might not be able to withstand, Luo Ji was more or less confident. The super-enhanced Gravity was enough to ensure his safety, and it was difficult for the Trisolarans to block its broadcasting capabilities.
, with him and Zhang Beihai here, as long as the Trisolarans don’t have a flaw in their brains, they should no longer have any twisted thoughts about the earth.】
In the video, Cheng Xin was invited to a Japanese-style villa.
In this era, Sophon is no longer a sophisticated computer with circuit boards engraved on microscopic particles, but a beautiful woman.
Cheng Xin knew that there might be cold steel under this woman's skin.
But she is so feminine, a very perfect, very beautiful woman.
She is like the richest oil paint. Even if it is placed in a clear lake, the entire lake will turn into her color.
During the two-hour tea ceremony, Cheng Xin's eyes became gentler, as if infected by Tomoko's charm, and she talked and laughed about her feelings in this era.
"When we women are together, the world is beautiful, but our world is also very fragile. We women must cherish it all." Tomoko said softly, then bowed deeply, and her tone became excited: "Please
Take good care of me, please take good care of me!"
Cheng Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help Tomoko up and looked at her distressedly: "Don't worry, no one will be willing to destroy this hard-won world, this beautiful world. Aren't we together in peace?
You are even more earthly than many earthlings, your tea art is really great, and this is your home."
[Zhang Beihai became increasingly dissatisfied with Cheng Xin. She just didn't notice Tomoko's obvious psychological hints, which were so obvious and pretentious. She only thought that Tomoko was beautiful.
There is no doubt that such people will embark on a path of self-destruction after gaining enough power.]
The next day, as soon as Cheng Xin woke up, she was told by her housekeeper that people from several centuries AD were looking for her.
Cheng Xin was not happy to see the more common male image of her time for the first time in a long time. Her eyes were full of disgust for such men.
But after all, one of them called the police for her and prevented Thomas Wade from killing her benefactor, so Cheng Xin quickly hid her inner unhappiness.
"Mr. Bi Yunfeng, thank you for saving my life." Cheng Xin bowed sincerely.
The man named Bi Yunfeng waved his hand and joked: "I hope I didn't do anything wrong."
"We are here to advise you not to run for the sword bearer." A middle-aged man came forward: "By the way, my name is Cao Bin. I was Ding Yi's colleague in the AD century who was the first to come into contact with water droplets in that battle.
.”
Cheng Xin looked at the people who came to see her in confusion: "You all think I can succeed?"
"You are almost certain to succeed," said a man with a Maozi accent.
"I shouldn't be a deterrent, right?" Cheng Xin said with a smile.
An old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties came over and looked at Cheng Xin: "One thing is that you are a member of the PIA, and the PIA warned Shuidi about the aggressiveness during that battle... Even if such a warning was of no use.
, even if this matter has nothing to do with you, it does not prevent this organization from becoming a legendary organization, and you also have a certain degree of deterrence."
After a pause, the old Mediterranean man continued: "In the eyes of the public of this era, the best sword holder is the one who scares the Trisolarans, but not the people on Earth. Let these bitches and fake bitches be afraid
Don't be afraid! And you won't make them feel scary, because you are a classical beauty that fits their fantasy very well! People in this era are more naive than the children of our time, and they don't know how to see the essence through the phenomenon.
, they simply don’t understand that their goals are unattainable!”
"They feel that the unity of the universe is coming, and deterrence is becoming less and less necessary. Rather than a terrifying deterrent, they want someone who is less decisive in pressing the button. Uniformity of the universe, ha!" Mediterranean sneered.
Cheng Xin was unhappy with his tone: "Hasn't the unity of the universe arrived? Look at this era, we and the Trisolarans are living in peace, and we are all developing!"
The six men who came to her did not answer, but exchanged looks silently.
Cheng Xin felt frightened and ashamed at such a look.
Because they seemed to be considering whether to kill themselves...and agreed that they were a fool!
"My child, you are not suitable to be a sword bearer." The eldest man among the six centuries AD said: "You have never really entered a political environment, and you are very young, and your experience is very short.
...You cannot correctly judge the situation, nor do you have the psychological quality of a sword holder. You only have kindness and a sense of responsibility!"
"And," another man said, "I don't think you can adapt to the life of a sword holder!"
Looking at the silent Cheng Xin, several men said goodbye and left.
After those men left, Ai AA complained: "The life of a sword holder is simply not life, it is torture more painful than hell! I really don't know what these men in the AD century are doing after pursuing such a life! Could it be that
With one finger and one button, you can decide the fate of two worlds with all your strength, and make them flock to it?"
Looking at the silent Cheng Xin, Ai AA asked, "You're not also eager for such power, are you?"
But Cheng Xin didn't answer.
A week later, Cheng Xin arrived at one of the most serious places in this era, and transferred to the officials the two planets that were discovered not long ago in the star that Yun Tianming gave to her.
After the grand ceremony, an official who could not tell the difference between male and female led Cheng Xin on the lawn outside the building: "We all hope that you can participate in the election of sword bearer. Those men from six centuries AD are too dangerous.
We are worried that they will make more excessive demands on the Trisolarans, causing our peaceful exchanges in the past century to be interrupted, which is not good for both us on Earth and the Trisolarans."
Looking at Cheng Xin seriously, the official said, "And you can completely avoid all this."
Cheng Xin hesitated and thought about it in her mind. The scenes from nearly three hundred years ago were constantly replayed in her mind.
A mother holding her child saw Cheng Xin: "Look, child, this is the Virgin...God...she really looks like the Virgin!"
Cheng Xin was at a loss as the woman handed her the child.
Mother clasped her hands together devoutly and looked at Cheng Xin with tears in her eyes: "Holy Mother, save us! Don't let those six bloodthirsty men destroy us!"
Cheng Xin was holding a newborn child. The child was looking at Cheng Xin with a smile. The child's mother was kneeling in front of Cheng Xin.
The sun shines on the sculpture symbolizing the peace of the earth and the three-body system, and Cheng Xin is standing next to the sculpture.
At this moment, she was extremely holy.
At this moment, she is extremely sacred.
At this moment, she was extremely guilty.
At this moment, she thought of the brain in the deep space, which was more lonely than hell.
At this moment, she felt that she must run for the Sword Bearer!
